I will mention that one of the gifts of Adam Curtis is that whilst he talks about complicated things, his use of individuals related to concepts and ideas means that most of his early documentaries and some of his later ones, are great introductions to things like Keynes versus Freidman or like what Asset Stripping is and means etc.I picked this up while watching the Mayfair Set, and I realised that a lot of my view of Britain in the 1980's was fine, but a lot of it is clouded in the context of "idk they just happened".
Hugh MacDiarmid is more scarier,given that he was a Scottish Nationalist and a NazBol and someone who openly wanted the Troubles to happen in Scotland as well,but with Scottish Protestants attacking Catholics and the English. He represented every wrong with Scottish nationalism taken to the extreme.Hot take: Joanna Cherry as the “OH NO SNP BECOME EVIL” choice is starting to get a tad stale. Just a bit.

Jesus fuck I feel like I just went back in time to like middle school/early high school when I actually enjoyed BOB.
There aren't very many people with the same level of following as her that isn't a boring Swinney/Yousaf SNP establishment type. Obviously, there's Salmond himself but the Alba Party showed he doesn't have as strong a brand anymore. Another obstacle is that the SNP leadership is decided by a single transferable vote but Corbyn easily proved that wrong.Hot take: Joanna Cherry as the “OH NO SNP BECOME EVIL” choice is starting to get a tad stale.
